  ROBERT E. STEINER, prominent Attorney-at-law, Greenville, was born in Butler
County, this State, May 9, 1862, and is a son of Joseph and Matilda M. (Camp)
Steiner, of this place.

  From the age of five years to twenty-two, the subject of this sketch was
almost continuously at school. He graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts
from the State University (Alabama) when sixteen years of age, and, two years
later, received from the same institution the degree of Master of Arts. In 1884
he graduated from the Law Department of Harvard University as a LL. B.; returned
at once to Greenville and, associated with the Hon. John K.  Henry, entered at
once upon the practice of law. Judge Henry died in 1886, and Mr. Steiner formed
a partnership, as at present, with the Hon. J. C. Richardson. In 1886, he was
elected to the Legislature and was made chairman of the Committee on Military
Affairs, in which he performed much valuable service. Mr. Steiner has always
taken much interest in State Military matters, and is at this writing holding
the commission of major of the Second Regiment Alabama Troops.

  He is a member of the order of Knight of Phythias, of the Masonic fraternity,
and of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. He devotes much of his time to
church work, and in 1887, as lay delegate, represented the Union Springs
District in the Alabama Conference. He is also a member of the board of
stewards, and is one of the trustees of his church at Greenville.

  Major Steiner was married in December, 1884, to Miss May Flowers, the handsome
and accomplished daughter of John J. Flowers, Esq., of Butler County.
